weight station, weight lb / KG but ELD only lb?!

weight station, weight lb / KG but ELD only lb?!

when the weight station shows 59826 it stand there lb kg?!
why kg is it kg?! because the weight in ELD is only lb, so can check it is correct, when different weight?!

Even if the display says "lb kg", the display is 100% lb, just like in the ELD.
However, the ELD only shows the load weight.
The scale, however, shows the total weight, the limit of which is exactly 60060 lb (load + truck).
Anything above this is obviously overloaded.
So it's not actually a bug, it's just poorly labeled.

no, check it.
you are wrong!
the ELD weight is complete other.
i have three times make the weight station mission already.
solved 100%

58752 on display
27432 on ELD

61954 on display
29032 on ELD

59423 on display
24968 on ELD

That's all correct.
Display = total weight (load + truck)
ELD = weight of the load.
So your tested trucks weigh 31320 - 34455 lb.

Differences in truck weights are also normal, as they can also have different equipment.

That's why only the weight of the display (total weight) is important when it comes to punishment. It's exactly the same in reality.
What is actually missing is the empty weight of the truck in the vehicle documents.

look on the list, how may should the truck wiehght should be? ???
the different is too high!
i can´t be or must be fixed.
did you try to check lb in kg check?

Just forget about the KG! It does NOT exist in the game!

Why does the scale display say lb kg? No idea, and it's unimportant! It's lb. And it also matches the manual (H)

And can a truck weigh 30,000 - 34,000 lb (approx. 15-17 tons)?
Hard to say. A European semi-trailer weighs around 13 tons (13,000 kg / approx. 26,000 lb) when empty

Now the truck in the game is a class that is equivalent to a 12-ton truck in Europe. These have an empty weight of around 7 tons (approx. 14,000 lb).
So a little less payload than deadweight.

Now the PSPO truck has a maximum permitted total weight of 60,060 lb (approx. 30,030 kg), so it would be a 30-ton truck. I don't know if such a thing really exists. Nor whether 30,000 - 34,000 lb empty weight would be realistic.

But one thing is CERTAIN: All information in the game is in lb!! NOT kg. Just forget it.

And again. The ELD only shows the LOAD weight.
The display on the scales shows (logically) the weight of the load AND the truck.

Or to put it another way: The ELD is completely superfluous for the weight!
It really only serves to compare the registered load with the actual load of the truck. (Keyword: unlisted or illegal load)

Breaks and driving times obviously don't play a role in PSPO either.

that not help to get out and find out what is wrong, to make the police job correct.
deadweight!? lol

then we also must didn´t know the weight of the load, only the complete load, only the complete load.
then they can dlete the load weight completly.
complete weight also enough to know.
we can´t use it and calculate something with it.
it is enough to know here is something wrong and must be fixed.

That's exactly how it is.
The load weight is known in the ELD.
The unknown is the truck weight, which makes checking the load weight impossible.
In reality, the empty weight of the truck is stated on the vehicle documents. But these do not exist in the game.

That's why I say yes. The only thing that really matters is what is shown on the scale display. If it is more than 60060 (that's lb) then the truck is overloaded. It's that simple.

The ELD is actually almost useless and only helps us check the load types and numbers.
